Millennials haven’t killed dinner parties, they just changed them to be more casual, inexpensive affairs. The generation that prioritizes friendships doesn’t have the room, time, or budget for a seated four-course dinner on china, but they’re still getting together to share meals with their favorite people. However, because many live in apartments without dining rooms, the dinners might take place around the coffee table or the floor, and it’s just “having people over” not “entertaining.” The shift has likely impacted multiple brands, who can’t sell the group on fancier home goods.
